Diving Gannet at point of entry into the sea.

---

Diving Gannet captured on camera at a very high shutter speed at the moment of entry into the sea. The species here is the Northern Gannet,Morus bassanus photographed in the north sea off the East Lothian coast of Scotland. Gannets are are spectacular divers, plunging into the ocean at high speed in order to catch fish. Gannet pairs may remain together over several seasons. They perform elaborate greeting rituals at the nest, stretching their bills and necks skywards and gently tapping bills together.
